I would also like to see proof these conversations where Nicole told Paul she hadn't had the chance to prove out the trans side. However, putting up an ad for an animal that has changed hands several times, claiming the animal is double het when no one has proven the trans het is shady at best. Quite frankly, it does not matter what you were told about the dragon, Nicole.
You sold it with certain genetics, and that means
you are responsible for the genetics you claim--
no one else. Once you get
your customer squared away,
then, and only then, can you go to whomever you got the dragon from and complain to the person who sold him to you about the possible incorrect genetics. Eventually, it will get back to the person who originally bred the dragon, and that guy will have to deal with it. But if you get a het from someone and don't prove it out yourself (no matter what species you're dealing with), to be an honest seller, you should state that you bought it from so-and-so as a het but you were unable to prove the het.
For example, I have a 50% het Albino ball python I got from a friend's 100% het x normal pairing. The person she got the 100% het from is a trustworthy person, so I don't doubt my snake is 50% het. However, her 100% het has never been proven, and if I decided to sell him, I would never,
ever sell him as a 50% het. I'd sell him as a "possible het" (no numbers) with an explanation of where the possible het may be coming from. To sell him as an actual 50% het would be, in my opinion, a shady business practice. But then, maybe I'm the crazy one....
Also, paperwork is only as trustworthy as the person printing it up. The only paperwork I would even remotely trust, in this case, is the guarantee from Dragonz Whispers, which should have been given to the friend, and then should have been given to Nicole when she bought him from the friend. Paperwork from anyone else in this transaction would not mean anything.
I have never even thought about buying from her after threads about medicating her own Dragons all the time like it was Routine for them to be sick,or she has had a lot of sickness Experience I Guess?
Medicating one's own critters does not automatically imply it's done often. If I could get my hands on some flagyl, I'd gladly medicate my own reptiles if I found they had flagellates. As long as someone knows how to identify them on a microscope and can do simple math to calculate dosages, I don't see why there would be an issue with it.
